I'm just never putting 0w-20 water in my enginethe same engine was listed for 5w-30 just 10 years ago with identical tolerances.0w-20 or thinner is a scam to make your engine wear out faster.
>>28706904oh wow, daring today?what new controversial take will you be posting to your blog next?
>>28706904Oil alone is NOT enough, that's the real scam
>>28706924This display is dumb because 99% of engines have 0 gears in them, the ones that do (i4s and v6s with balance carts, diesels) are pressure fed rather than splash or tooth to tooth transfer.
>>28706906zipper merges should be done at the end where the lane starts merging
>>28706924I remember those spinny things as a kid.Lucas Oil is 100% advertisements and 99% garbage.
>>28706947sure and theoretically zipper merges work perfectly fine at any road posted speed limit too.in reality people's behavior is not mechanistic and your opinions on the matter are irrelevant
>>28707018But does their engine stop leak work? The bottle says it does!
>>28706904>never put 0w-20 water in my engine>i'll put 5w-30 pisswater instead
>>28707052hey you wanted a controversial opinion i thought that's pretty relevant
>>28706906It is a pretty goofy ass take because 0W-20 can take alot of abuse>>28707408This people have this misconception that 30 weight is some based racing oil that's gonna hold up at super high temps or something, meanwhile they've got a slow ass, low horsepower economy engine that would be fine on 0W-20
>>28707364Imagine if the bottle said that it won't work for shit.
>>28706939>transmission Nigga you illiterate
You got that toyota 2gr v6?
>>28706904>0w-20 Why are you using thick ass oil unc? My car uses ow-8
My motorcycle has pretty tight tolerances and it uses 10w 50 so I don't think tolerances care that much
>>28706904>check oil at 5k miles with pic rel>still looks brand newWorks on my machine
>>28709976That just means it wasn't even circulating.
>>28709984>lower viscosity oil has a harder time circulating :(
>>28709988*whooosh*You heard that?
>>28706904Get with the times boomer, Toyota is using 0W-16 now. Some new BMWs even use 0W-12
>>28710018Goyota uses 0w-8 on their new Corollas
>>28709992There has to be a joke for it to go over my head
>>28706904Why is 0w30 not really a thing? Next step up for ILSAC: GF-6A is 5w30. I have Canadian winters here but I also want a bit more protection for the engine.
>>28706924I was thinking of putting this in my pressure washer. Does anyone know how this handles in splash lubed engines?
>>28710048Don't talk shit about my senpai Toyota-san, you baka gaijin
>>28706904>I'm just... not going to do itbased
The solution is 0w20 in winter and 5w30 in other seasons. My shitbox conveniently leaks it's oil so I just start buying 5w30 to top-up as winter ends and gradually convert. The performance difference of 0w20 and 5w30 on a cold engine start at -40'c is undeniable.
>>28710061The way I see it I'm not doing any high load driving during winter so it doesn't need more protection. How often are you redlining the piss out of your vehicle in Canadian winter?
>>28710048That's a only on the hybrids though and the hybrid are all very low strung. Hybrids in general struggle keeping the oil up to temperature and a cold 0w8 is probably thicker than 0w20 in a regular engine
>>28710269Niggas not knowing how to read the weight is hilarious
>>28706904My car is 0W30 is it also a scam?The car is at 250k km thoughSkyactiv-d 1.5 from 2016
>>28710061>Why is 0w30 not really a thing?It definitely is a thing here in Europe. My diesel Volvo uses that.
>>28706924Doesn't even matter what kind of oil you use, that's the real scam
>>28712782Additives do make a difference
the real scam is making you change oil more than once a year. doesn't matter how much you drive. once a year.
